Somehow I think they screw up the story.

Wow. I knew Tim McGraw was in the film as Sean Tuohy, but I had a hard time recognizing him in the trailer. It's kind of weird how they cast a little kid to play SJ. From what I could tell, he was 13 or 14 in real life, and this kid looks like he is 7 or 8.

I also wonder if they will make Hugh Freeze anywhere near as sleazy in this film as he is in real life.

Sounds like a great movie. And Sandra Bullock is still hot at 45.

It's a great story but I'll be shocked if it's a good movie.

It won't be as good as the book, but it looks pretty good.

i like how they just went for a tall black kid. he's not athletic and isn't built at all

and he didn't talk much in the trailer, but he sounded VERY white and educated for mike oher

Oher's accent is not that strong in my opinion. He actually gives a more coherent interview than most top NFL prospects (do I even have to mention Harvin?). I doubt he sounded quite as polished in his high school years, but it isn't a ridiculous stretch actually.

Oher starts speaking about 40 seconds in

It isn't as if there are that many 6'6" 330 pound guys with natural flexibility and upper body strength in Hollywood. Most of those guys are playing D-1 football and not going to Julliard

The guy who plays Oher is almost 7 feet tall. A lot taller than the real Oher.

Did the book focus more on the mom and her relationship with Oher because that's what the trailer made the movie look like
